Filip Turek, the current governmental commissioner for climate policy and the Green Deal, has announced via Instagram that a new candidate for the Minister of the Environment in the Czech Republic will soon be introduced. This announcement comes in light of his previous candidacy for the position being denied by President Petr Pavel, who cited Turek's comments and stances as reasons for his decision. Turek expressed confidence that the new minister will work alongside him effectively.

He further emphasized in his statement that the candidate will be someone serious who aligns with his vision for the Ministry of the Environment (MŽP). Turek’s remarks suggest that he is looking for a collaborative approach to addressing critical environmental issues in the country. The urgency of the situation highlights the continuing focus on climate action in Czechia, especially given the complexities involved in implementing the Green Deal initiatives.

Turek also reassured the public that his motivation for his political endeavors stems from a commitment to the country rather than personal gain, asserting that he aims to make meaningful contributions to climate policy. This announcement and the expectations surrounding the incoming minister could significantly impact Czech environmental policy, depending on how effectively they can navigate the political landscape and implement necessary changes in line with the climate objectives outlined in the Green Deal.
